Respawn rolls out sneaky Apex anti-cheat update that has cheaters telling on themselves

If you haven’t been able to open Apex Legends over the past couple of days, well, you might want to stay quiet about it. Respawn revealed today that an update on Sept. 11 introduced an anti-cheat feature that made the game unplayable while running many third-party programs in the background.

It’s a sly move from the security team at Respawn, but that’s probably necessary given how big of an issue cheaters have become over the past several seasons of Apex. The team only just revealed that the number of accounts banned for cheating each month is in the six figures, and that news came only a couple of months after a highly publicized hacking incident in an ALGS match had most of the player base scared to even touch the game. Cheating is a real problem right now, and the new update seems to have targeted everything from custom shaders and crosshairs to more nefarious means of gaining a competitive advantage in the game.
